Sri Lankan Navy arrests four Tamil Nadu fishermen

The navy also seized one boat used by the fishermen near Delft Island.

Earlier on Sunday, five Indian fishermen were also arrested for allegedly fishing in Sri Lankan waters.

"Naval personnel attached to a Fast Attack Craft belonging to the Northern Naval Command arrested five Indian poachers along with a fishing trawler engaged in illegal fishing practices in Sri Lankan territorial waters west of Delft Island this morning," the Sri Lankan Navy said in a statement.

The arrested Indians were handed over to the Jaffna Assistant Director of Fisheries for a legal action.
